Abstract

The present invention discloses a language learning method and system thereof which utilizes computer program for providing the language learners with a virtual environment of cooperating learning and communication. By means of the limiting mechanism for language category and language stage, the method can enable the learners to study the characters, words and grammar of a language from shallow to deep layer, thus achieving the goal to raise the learners' listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities.

Description

Utilize the interactive learning methods and the system thereof of computer program

Technical field

The present invention is about a kind of interactive learning methods and system thereof, particularly about a kind of interactive learning methods and system thereof that utilizes computer program as communication media.

Background technology

The mankind are actually via five kinds of sense organs such as vision, the sense of hearing, sense of smell, sense of touch and the sense of taste and carry out every study, and common people utilize the vision and the sense of hearing to learn a language.When reading aloud, the Word message of being read aloud on the books is via reciter's eyes, brain and face.And communicate in one's mother tongue when talking with, this information is via speaker's brain, face and interlocutor's ear, brain.Because the language that the reciter read aloud not is the expression of its original idea, and does not have interactive mechanism, when why this just learns foreign languages,, still learn bad reason even spend suitable time and spirit.

General traditional foreign language learning mode is to utilize books, audiotape, video-tape and general foreign language teaching software etc. from the superficial to the deep to teach the individual character and the syntax, but because it does not still have interactive mechanism, therefore, often causes the learner to get half the result with twice the effort.

In generation nineteen ninety, is early stage, the literal communication mechanism begins to prevail on multi-thread chat of network (IRC) and the MUD lines such as (MUD), though it is not to be fundamental purpose with the training foreign languages, but another approach of training foreign languages also is provided, and so it has following shortcoming: (1) can't directly be linked up with language; (2) typing speed must be very fast; (3) Dui Hua theme is subject to the ability of foreign language; And (4) communication both sides' language varying degree, often cause the obstacle in the communication, and may influence the wish that continues communication.Though therefore IRC and MUD can provide interactive mechanism, because it has the disappearance in the use, and is not suitable for the beginner, and it also can't provide the training of listening and saying the aspect.

The speech recognition system that nineteen ninety-five occurs still has the shortcoming that mutual environment can't be provided, and also has the problem of accuracy deficiency in the speech recognition.

If carry out the foreign language exercise with the online game of multiparty conference system or additional voice transmitting function, though need not typewrite and be to link up with language, but because it mainly is to be purpose with the amusement, therefore there is no incremental mechanism from the superficial to the deep, so still be subjected to the restriction and the not reciprocity problem existence of language degree of caller for the foreign language aptitude familiarity of conversation subject.

Summary of the invention

Fundamental purpose of the present invention provides the method and system of an interactive learning language, and the learner is in virtual environment, and from the superficial to the deep interim study avoids being subject in the prior art learner's foreign language aptitude and the not reciprocity communication disorders of language degree.And the present invention can be designed to the form of an interesting online game, promotes at least two users' study wish to increase interest.

Interactive learning methods of the present invention by the communicative mode at least two human world, is reached the purpose of language learning, and it comprises following step: (1) sets a theme with a computer program; (2) at least two users login this theme, and play the part of the role in the theme; (3) this computer program guides the progress of this theme, and progressively induces this at least two user to express new glossary and statement and carry out to each other communication; And (4) enter rank to more highly difficult theme.In addition, the present invention also can comprise the category of language of this theme use of a qualification in addition or inform user's category of language; And this at least two user need cooperate the progress of this theme and react, if reaction not as good as or reaction mistake step such as promptly suffer exit.

The present invention utilizes at least one computing machine to constitute a system that learns a language, and provide a theme of linking up by building a computer program that places this at least one computing machine, it comprises following feature: (1) provides a task (recreation) or course to learn a language for the learner, progress along with this task or this course, progressively add new things about this task or this course, and the glossary that makes new advances of deriving, to increase the range of language learning; (2) provide a task (recreation) or course to learn a language for the learner, distinguish different grades, and, use glossary and the grammer progressively deepened, to increase the degree of depth of language learning along with the progress of this task or this course according to complexity and difficulty; (3) can limit all users uses same language to link up; (4) can be for linking up simultaneously more than two people and practising; (5) in task or course, provide the user to play the part of different roles, be available for users to produce the interactive learning relation with other people; Reach (6) and be provided with superseded mechanism, the approximate user of Chinese language degree is rested in the theme of same grade.This at least one computing machine can be a webserver or a personal computer, and is different according to the demand on using.
